The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

Yesterday we dropped from the 20s into the negatives. We’re scheduled for five inches of snow tonight. You’ll have to forgive my lack of sympathy ;-)

Not to worry. We’ll get a couple of more weeks of really cold weather (you know 30s-40s) before it starts to warm up for good...

I had to pry Luke from the Wii after four hours yesterday...

It was the game we got for his birthday party, and he doesn’t normally get to play during the week. But still, that’s a lot of time.

Apparently it is an energy drink of some sort. a few calories, lots of vitamins and some caffeine. I heard someone describe it as being similar to straight lemon extract. Next time we have a geeky party at our house we might have to have some just to feed it to someone after they have had a few beers and see their reaction. Heh.

@#$@$^@$^@#^@#$%&^*^&^(%~!!!!!!!! Dell canceled my order AGAIN!!!!! This after last week I gave them the credit card info and got a confirmation over the phone.

I just emailed them and told them I will never, never, never buy another Dell product again.

Bastidges.

I’m taking the PC to the service repair tomorrow. I should have done that weeks ago.

Looks like it’s something like Red Bull repackaged for gamers.

Wow, that’s unbelievable. I’ve dealt with Dell dozens of times and they’ve never done that to me. Bastidges...

The first time, they said it was because they couldn’t verify the Paypal account. I gave them some slack on that. The second time, I gave the guy the card number over the phone and he verified it. I don’t know why they cancelled it this time and am not going to bother to find out.
